Nutso & Divided Souls at DJ Premier #LFHQ show 2015

Our man, Jay Large put together a dope visual during our visit to DJ Premier's mixshow on SiriusXM Hip-Hop Nation called Live From HeadQCourterz and a quick spot of where it all started from for me...NuYorican Poets Cafe. Shout to Spank & Brent (Divided Souls) + LFHQ homie's Panch, Keeb, Kreepy Clown + my team - DJ Mike Duse + Ron Mills

My homie Chris Moss and long time Lost Tapes contributor with his partners Brent Dixon and DJ Pain 1 that together form Divided Souls Ent. is really starting to make moves which makes me real proud of them. They recently produced one of the best records of the year with impeccable Queens emcee Nutso in his 7 track EP "Divided Soul". Nutso and the Divided Souls team was invited to the DJ Premier's legendary LiveFromHQ's show at Sirius XM to talk about the new record, freestyle, and just kick it. Nutso posted a brief clip of some of the highlights from the show, shot and edited by Jay Large for all y'all to enjoy. Check it out above and if you haven't heard the EP yet click the link above and get ready to bang your head while you let the lyricism sink in.

HAVOC - "What I Rep" (Ft. Nutso & Sheek Louch) [Divided Souls Remix]

The homies Divided Souls Entertainment (Chris Moss, Brent Dixon, DJ Pain 1) recently fully produced one of 2015's hottest releases yet, Nutso's "Divided Soul". Now they take on "What I Rep", the Sheek Louch collaboration from Havoc's suprisingly hot "13 Reloaded" album. The Divided Souls/DJ Pain 1 remix, not too suprisingly, adds a Nutso verse to the synth and turntable heavy remix. TURN IT UP!

[Album] DJ PAIN 1 - "Undressed Instrumentals #4"

Madison, WI producer DJ Pain 1 has been putting in a lot of hard body work recently, working extensively with the Divided Souls team (Chris Moss and Brent Dixon) on projects by Nutso, Sean Price and Public Enemy. Under his own name the versatile beat maestro has put in works for artists including Ludacris, Kirko Bangz, Young Jeezy, Stat Quo, Mistah F.A.B., Jaheim and many more. Now DJ Pain 1 is giving fans and aspiring emcees the chance to hear some of his personal favorite productions, completely undressed and instrumental for free download. What you waiting for?

[EP] NUTSO - "Divided Soul"

This is BIG right here, rugged and raw street spitter Nutso, straight out of Queens, is hooking up with the production team of Divided Souls Entertainment and DJ Pain 1 (which includes Lost Tapes friend Chris Moss) for a brand new EP. Fittingly titled the "Divided Soul EP", the seven tracks featured on this blazing project brings out the best out of both Nutso and the production trio who previously has supplied amazing tracks for Chuck D and Public Enemy. This is real headnodding boom bap shit that will definitely put a smile on your face and keep your ears peaked for rewind worthy street lyrics. An extra plus comes from the large amount of scratches and turntable work being incorporated throughout the Extended Play, while Nutso is being held down by Rasheed Chappel, Blacastan, General Steele, Trae The Truth and more this is DEFINTIELY not one you want to sleep on! It's early in the year yet, but so far it's easily one of the best records released thus far.

Stream the entire project for free below, which I bet will lead to you supporting the real by either purchasing a HQ digital download from Nutso's Bandcamp or grab the CD edition from Amazon.

[Video] PE 2.0. - "People Get Ready"

Following on the success of the smashing soul banger "Give We Pride" by Chuck D and Mavis Staples, Chuck D and new partner Jahdi once again enlists the solid production talents of Divided Souls Entertainment and DJ Pain 1 (who also contributed two banging tracks on the last two Public Enemy albums). The single called "People Get Ready" features close to a vintage Public Enemy sound, of course updated for the times, with both emcees getting busy. The song is released as PE 2.0, which seems to be an offshot of Public Enemy featuring Chuck and Jahdi though I'm not entirely sure at this moment. However be sure to stay tuned for more info and forthcoming music!

CHUCK D - "Give We The Pride" (Ft. Mavis Staples)

The legendary Chuck D just dropped his new solo album "The Black in Man" on August 1, and the lead single and video can now be heard above. Over a knocking track that literally oozes soul provided by the talented team of Divided Souls and DJ Pain 1, Mr. Chuck D's commanding voice and powerhouse flow reminds listener that he's every bit as relevant in today's hip-hop field as he was in 1988. "Give We The Pride" also features a guest apperance from none other than the truly great, Soul legend Mavis Staples who help take this joint to another level... All in all, I'm blown away! The digital EP single includes an additional remix in addition to the B-side "Get it Right or Be Gone" and is available @ RapCentralStation.com. I haven't listened to the actual album yet but if it's in the vein of this cut right here it will likely well end up on the best of 2014 round off. Support @ iTunes.

On a sidenote I also want to remind y'all about Chuck D's 1996 solo debut "The Autobiography of Mistachuck" which is a very overlooked LP so why not take an hour and rewind that. Also available @ iTunes.
